please don't send the bear our way

New animal count: 18 bears, 14 deer, 1 coyote, 2 dead snakes

Long run today, mostly dirt road and trail. 2hrs5 minutes. Probably about 17km or so. There were some hills. Some rather big ones actually.

At one point we came across a black bear, he was about 200 metres away. On the other side of the bear an equal distance away were a group of people and dogs. We yelled but the bear didn't move. Then one of the dogs started towards the bear....we took off because it looked like the bear would end up running from the bear towards us!! It ended up heading into the bush so we continued on our way, though there was a spike in heartrate. I am sooo done after that run. I hurt. It was great.

Who is Foxtrot?

I'm a persnickety lass and I live in beautiful Squamish, B.C, Canada.
This blog is about me at my best, at my worst, just me. I come from the "as is" bin! I'm an ordinary human trying to carve out my little niche in this world.
I love to run (trails mostly) and swim and I try to ride my mountain and road bikes when I can.
I am obsessed with interior design. It's my long lived passion and I hope to one day incorporate design into my life in some way other than ripping out pictures from magazines and drooling over design blogs.
I love animals and would adopt ALL of them if I could. All of them. Except for snakes.
